In the bill, it basically says be gone over 180 days and you're out. Is it ANY period of 180 days or it only pertains to 5 years immediately prior to the enactment? I am getting mixed message on the bill itself.
What am I missing?

Unfortunately,We're going to have to wait until the bill actually passes to see how USCIS would interpret this particular section but I'm leaning more toward lu001's interpretation since it says...

(c) Treatment of Certain Breaks in Presence.--
(1) IN GENERAL.--An alien shall be considered to have failed to maintain continuous physical presence in the United States under subsection (a) if the alien has departed from the United States for any period in excess of 90 days or for any periods in the aggregate exceeding 180 days.

It doesn't say 5 years presence,specifically.Hopefully,I'm wrong though.
